English artist and book illustrator (1879–1976) known especially for his human-like animals in illustrations for Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne. Rare ALS, one page both sides, 5.25 x 7, Woodmancote letterhead, November 14, 1960, to German book publisher Frank Hermann. In full: “I have been able to get on the jacket for C. R. Story book quicker than I had expected. I think you will find that black or near black lettering will tell out sufficiently on the top half where I have kept the trees & sky lighter in tone. How do you like my idea for the little inset on the spine? As the King appears in the story book, I think it appropriate that he should appear on the wrapper & show his interest in what Pooh is reading.” In fine condition, with some scattered creases and a rusty paperclip mark to top edge. Any autograph material from Shepard is quite uncommon, even more so discussing Pooh and the rest of Milne’s characters.
